Welcome to Sungam's weather service! this is where you can find out where the Haggis donny will be taking by storm next.
Here's your first update:
Triangle Rock Club, Tuesday November 4th, from mid/late afternoon onwards. Be there to meet the Haggisdonny himself, get your copy of the book signed*, and maybe even do some climbing!
*Must bring your own copy of AB's Chonson and me - That kind of thing is my bag, baby! by Magnus Johnson to get signed.

!!!weather update!!!
The current plan is to go to the Red River Gorge on thursday, then, at some time during the following few days, go to the New River Gorge. Then (this is where is become speculation), on the next weekend, I'm heading over to the Looking Glass Rock shop re opening thing. Hopefully I'll get some climbing done at looking glass, and somehow get back to raliegh.
Kniveltech, didn't a route or two come up in your "looking for crack" thread at LGR? Let's go climbing and you can pick me up

If you find anything funky in any of the cracks, it's camheads skin or blood.
I had no idea moving to ohio would give him leprosy.

I don't like slab. At all. Even the concept is unappealing. At least one of my climbing partners is convinced that a trip to Stone will have me "seeing the light" but so far I'm still waiting to be convinced.
I would much rather spend a weekend stuffing myself into a crack lined with razor sharp crystals the size of my thumbnails.

I might be at the glass in two weekends, but if you are in the neighborhood check out tallulah gorge in georgia for 200 feet tall steep quartzite walls.

I don't have wheels :(
Anyone know of anyone in the NRG or Looking Glass area heading towards the Raliegh area that would be willing to give a poor lil kid a lift?

I live in Brevard, I'll see you at the LGO thingy/Bachar slide show. I'd be happy to get out to Looking Glass with you, but I'd much rather hit some stuff at Rumbling Bald. Hell, we could do both.
